President
: Job Details :

The Board of Trustees at Anna Maria College announces the national search for President. Anna Maria College is a four-year, private, co-ed, Catholic institution, located approximately one hour west of Boston on a 260-acre campus near Worcester, Massachusetts. The College educates students to become individuals who will transform their world as ethical leaders and community-oriented professionals.

The College is inspired by the ideals of the Sisters of St. Anne, who founded the institution in 1946 and held responsibility for it until 1980 when an independent corporation and board of trustees were constituted. Today's Anna Maria College integrates a liberal arts education with real-life career preparation for approximately 1,200 students. Anna Maria students are treated as professionals-in-training as they grow in knowledge, technical skills, and experience, becoming leaders who are passionate about serving their communities.

The Board of Trustees seeks an energetic, mission-driven leader who will be enthusiastic about the College's Catholic identity, particularly the principles of Catholic social teaching as expressed in its commitments to affordability and access, support for the whole person, and academic programs that respond to community needs. The next president will build on the achievements of President Mary Lou Retelle, who will have provided a decade of successful presidential leadership upon her retirement in June 2025, and pursue new directions in response to a dynamic higher education environment.

This position is open until filled, but only applications received by December 1, 2024 can be assured full consideration. Applications should be submitted electronically to: ...@academicsearch.org.
